RIP John. To think both him and Howard Kendall were never capped for England was an absolute travesty.

Excellent player and very underrated. One of my memories of him is when we played Chelsea in the 1970 championship winning season. He got a head injury and went off and reappeared wearing a skull cap. Also he was the club's 1st ever substitute.

Privileged to have seen him in a blue shirt RIP

I was at the youth cup final 3rd May 1965 one of my first games with my dad, I have the programme which was 3d in old money framed along with a team photo John Hurst became a great player for the blues.

 

[Street end man]

Could play anywhere that man. The epitome of versatility and reliability. Nobody ever questioned this player, he was our number 10 and i for one will never forget him. From times never to be repeated both in football and life in general. So sad to read this news. RIP legend.❤

Husband,Ball,Royle,Hurst,Morrissey......the best.

He played in the first game I ever saw live. Everton v Derby, 17 August 1974.

Bless you John. Rest well.

What sad, sad news. John Hurst was a massively under rated and vital player in that glorious 69/70 title winning side.

RIP John Hurst - wonderful team player and a gentleman.

 

[Lawrence]

A real Evertonian. A real hero not a phoney one. RIP John.
